In today's Globe & Mail Saturday compilation, "The Matrix", he places a news item from last week low on his trivial axis. I don't care about his witty graph or the placement of any item thereupon, but I do care about the comment with which he gratuitously maligns all homeschoolers.
He must think he's plenty cute. Into the brief six word summation of the story, Fielding plants his separated-by-hyphens seven word snarky comment and (I imagine) sits back in his chair with a satisfied grin.
Here's the full offender:
"German home-schoolers [sic] seek asylum - and the right to raise weird kids - in Canada."
And here's the irony:
Fielding misspells "homeschoolers" during his putdown of them.
I'd say that's one convincing example of why teaching your kids at home makes sense. We homeschoolers also teach our children to check their work for errors before handing it in.
Perhaps that is kind of weird these days.
